Elevated Boys Elastic Waist Jeans in Tencel with Lace Inset
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a elevated boys elastic waist jeans around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed elevated finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we would repeat
